Build your outdoor apparel system from the base layer up

Functional clothing works best when considered part of a complete clothing system. A suitable base layer can be worn under workwear or outdoor jackets and help active users adapt to changing temperatures and activity levels. The Wicki Forst functional clothing collection includes apparel from BRUMM, SIP Protection, PSS, and Pfanner.

Short-sleeve options

Short-sleeved functional shirts are suitable for warmer conditions or as a light layer for active work. They offer an option for users who need functional clothing without adding unnecessary extra layers.

Long-sleeved base layers

In cooler conditions, long-sleeved garments provide more protection under outer layers. The collection includes options like the PSS X-treme Skin functional shirt and the Pfanner Merino-Modal long-sleeved shirt.

Choose material and fit to match the activity

Material, sleeve length, fit, and expected temperature all influence which functional garment is actually suitable for a particular situation. Forestry professionals often need a different combination than hikers or outdoor workers, especially if the activity level changes throughout the day.

Functional clothing doesn't mean simply wearing more layers. It's about choosing the right layers for the given conditions. Combining base layers with suitable workwear, rainwear, or protective clothing creates an outfit tailored to the environment, rather than relying on a single garment to do everything.

Wicki Forst offers various options for functional clothing so customers can compare different designs and choose the garments that suit their outdoor everyday life.
